Xbox Japan: "Forza 6 includes weather, night racing, 450 cars"

[Speedster911]

Dan said tyres switch to wet compounds automatically for rain races

Oh..dang..

Was hoping we'd get to pick between hard and soft compounds on dry sports and race tires. Maybe it'll make it, maybe it won't.

Just THRILLED about the car count, track roster and night + weather. Now where's that blasted button on my TV remote controller that says "fast forward to september"..?

The only game I get free updates and content with I pay a monthly fee. I'll gladly take paid DLC. This hobby is much cheaper than playing cars for real. That's a never ending money pit

Fm6 packs will have 7 cars each.

Source?

 

[jergto]

Damn. First Project CARS now Forza Motorsport 6? Look out Kaz, the competition is heating up.

The competition has left Kaz (PD) for a long time now. Kaz and company are probably modeling a prius with a bike rack on the roof.

Hey now... take it easy there... let the man enjoy his dream/cryogenic sleep.

Forza's own website

Someone was quick to think dynamic TOD was in and was vehemently defending that position. Though you seem to be 100% ok with it not being in

It's no sweat off my back, there was evidence that pointed towards it and it didn't flesh out.

I'm not a child and I can take the good with the bad...

We didn't get dynamic sure, we still ended up with weather and night racing... Not to mention 3D puddles with realistic hydroplaning physics.

 

[TonyJZX]

Does Forza 6 still have an avg. race length of 3-4 laps AND is a gold medal award on 3rd or better?

Apparently not, there will be races up to "two full tanks of fuel" according to Dan. Can't find source now but it's easy to find.

 

[TonyJZX]

Endurance racing? WTF? And I'm guessing both fuel and tyre usage? Really now?

I'd kinda be happy if they just reverted back to Forza 4 which is 5-10 laps and 1st being... 1st...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Glad the Top Gear Test Track is back I hope the tire walls will be smaller, but knowing T10 they probably won't.

Each tank lasts three laps. Hehe. I kid, I kid

Seriously though, I don't really get where there could be any genuine appeal (other than people buying into the marketing catch-phrases "3D puddles" oooh) to puddles that are the same every single time, and bigger than real race regulations would allow on track anyway. I mean you experience the puddle once and go 'ooh, that got me' and then never drive through them again...

I feel the same, too lazy to type it.

 

[TonyJZX]

I did not like the weather or night that much in GT6 or FH2 but its that Driveclub thing I guess.

They want those tickboxes and that means rain and night, hopefully at the same time. FH2 gets a pass as its open world so in emulating that I guess you need real time conditions.

Saying that I hated the fixed light and time of F5 but didnt seem to notice it that much in F4.

 

[Spitty]

I wonder if "450+ Forza Vista cars" means that we can look at the engine of all cars, not just some cars like in FM5.

I imagine they'll be more of an issue in close online racing.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Hopefully, some cars looked nearly as horrible as GT semi premium/improved standard cars albeit with decent interiors.

Edit: to be fair I only noticed a Ruf yellowbird and a Ferrari having poor detail, maybe there were others but I can't remember.

 

[bremics]

As long as we can see the interior view I'm happy, kinda ridiculous how much detail goes into the interior (GT6 even put the purse in the back of the Alfa) but before Forza Vista you only got a glimpse of it.

It's especially awesome when you own or have owned a car and you hop instead and go, "yeah, this is familiar ".

 

[Speedster911]

Ah, I thought it was a bug of some kind; just like when you hit play on some parts outside and inside the car and expect Clarkson, May or that lady to describe it in detail... but nothing!

Right, I noticed the same with a few cars as well, particularly the older ones from the 80s. Compromises.. starting to dislike that word.

There are a few games out on the 360/X1 that don't charge for mp dlc or updates.

1. GTA5- This game had a lot of content added to the mp for free. Some of it took forever like the heists but it did eventually come for free. Even if it was about 530 days later. Still insane to comprehend that.
2. Mass Effect 3. All of the co-op multiplayer dlc ws all free including all maps, weapons, and characters.
3. World of Tanks. 100% free game and all the content added has been free. I have not spent a single penny on this game.
4. Neverwinter-100% free game and all the content added has been free. I have not spent a single penny on this game.

There are others but these come to mind right away.

Oh and lets not forget their traditional rival...

In fairness, World of Tanks & Neverwinter seem to be subject to discussion of P2W like many free games, which is a whole different can of worms.

 

[bremics]

Is anyone else going through the tedious process of buying 200+ cars in both FM3 and FM4?

... Just realized I have to do it for FH1 as well. :'|

 

[05XR8]

Is a Cruze WTCC in FM5?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I am, I achieved 200 cars in FM4, but still have a while to go in FM3, FM5, & FH2. I decided to take my time with each though since we have all summer to do this.

 

[Thomas__633]

I just am buying 12k cars on FM5... I now own a Vandura, GTV6 and Spider in every colour.

Yes but the good news is Forza Rewards starts with FM2

No sir, fingers crossed for fm6

It's 301 cars for the full 5 million cr lol

I already have around 100 cars in each game so I'm just buying 200 or so GTI.

+edit+
And done with FM3, I'm now the proud owner of 206 GTI. Yis.

You still do not have to spend a single penny. As I said, I have not spent a single penny on World of Tanks or Neverwinter.

World of Tanks has a trueskill matchmaking. So even if someone did P2W (pay to win) one of the higher level tanks, instead of playing to win that tank, they would most likely be crushed. Just because someone has the money to buy a higher level tank, does not mean they have the experience or knowledge to use it. That's just like if someone bought the best car in a racing game, doesn't mean they can actually drive it. Luckily the matchmaking works very well in this game. One of the best matchmaking systems next to the Halo series.

P2W means little to nothing at all in Neverwinter. That game is 99% based on co-op dungeons, co-op campaign, co-op dragon battle raids, and co-op skirmishes. Very few people actually play the vs multiplayer in Neverwinter. It is only maybe 1% of the game. Those that do pay for the micro transactions and play the co-op, help everyone a LOT. In fact you can play through the entire game and NEVER touch the mp vs mode. So P2W only has a negative effect in the mp vs mode.

Similar argument happened with the ME3 co-op. The mp dlc was 100% free and was 100% co-op. So anyone that did purchase micro transactions actually helped everyone complete the co-op levels faster. I never spent a single penny on the mp dlc.

On topic. I need to throw in F4, F5, and FH2 and start buying cars and playing more so I am ready for F6. I have not claimed my Forza rewards in a long time.

Is anyone actually buying properly or just buying cheap 80's cars?
